A company with a learning management system (LMS) primarily used for professional development — but also in standard higher education classes — has updated the software to improve reporting and management. Version 6.8.2 of CourseMill from Lectora delivers a number of new enhancements:

Single sign-on through support of Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML);

Use of an "exempt student" status in the gradebook module;

Re-enrollment notice — when the system re-enrolls a student, the action is noted in the gradebook module and appears in the student's transcript;

Denial notification that sends students who have been denied enrollment a message;

Automatic addition of an e-commerce shopping cart image when that type of implementation is being used; and

Easier access through the LMS to functionality in other Lectora programs, including Talent Management and Mobile.

CourseMill provides standard LMS features, such as discussion forums, real-time chat, the ability to host videos, audio, and documents. It also includes:

Mobile support, giving students access to LMS features from their smartphones;
